SVHC SUPPORT DOCUMENT - DIHEXYL PHTHALATE Substance Name: Dihexyl phthalate (DnHP) EC Number: 201-559-5 CAS number: 84-75-3 The substance is identified as a substance meeting the criteria of Article 57 (c) of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH) owing to its classification as toxic for reproduction category 1B 2 which corresponds to classification as toxic for reproduction category 2 3. Summary of how the substance meets the CMR Cat 1B criteria Dihexyl phthalate (DnHP) is listed by Index number 607-702-00-1 in Annex III of Regulation (EU) No 944/2013 amending, for the purposes of its adaptation to technical and scientific progress Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures. DnHP is classified in Annex VI, Part 3, Table 3.1 (list of harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances) as toxic for reproduction, Repr. 1B (H360FD: May damage fertility. May damage the unborn child. ). The corresponding classification in Annex VI, part 3, Table 3.2 (the list of harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances from Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC) of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) is toxic for reproduction, Repr. Cat. 2 (R60-61; May impair fertility. May cause harm to the unborn child ). Therefore, this classification of DnHP in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) shows that it meets the criteria for classification as toxic for reproduction in accordance with Article 57 (c) of REACH. Registration dossiers submitted for the substance: No 2 Classification in accordance with Annex III of the Regulation (EU) No 944/2013 amending for the purposes of its adaptation to technical and scientific progress, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures 3 Classification in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Annex VI, part 3, Table 3.2 List of harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances (from Annex I to Council Directive 67/548/EEC), OJ L 353, p.1, 31.12.2008. 3
